Any suggestions? I seem to be slow on the mana gain.

 

[sageridder]

Summer Bloom?

 

[Nightstalkers]

Usually it's a problem with getting the land, not playing it... might try that in playtest though

 

[sageridder]

Oh with card drawing I assumed it was playing them.How about Perilous Forays as you could get any land including your non-basic ones, might even try Krosan reclamation or just reclaim to get the sacked creatures back.

 

[Force of Will Smith]

i forget the name specifically since its new.. but the new 2WW search for 4 different enchantment cards and put them in your hand would go perfect here..

Still the problem of mana acceleration to get the mana to even play the Forays.

And wouldn't a Gaea's Blessing be better than a Krosan Reclamation?

Three Dreams, Ravnica rare, 4W, Search your library for up to three Aura cards with different names, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your library afterwards.


I was thinking about it, but it's a bit expensive in the mana cost... I have one and might throw it in if I can get this mana acceleration going.

 

[Oversoul]

Have you tried Auratog instead of Rabid Wombat? I've used both, but have had more luck with Auratog.

 

[Nightstalkers]

Hmm... could be right there.. I don't know where I could pick up auratogs though.


They do cost less and are niftier... The problem would be having the enchantments out to sacrifice and to get them back.

 

[DÛke]

Is there any reason why you're playing 3x Arrest and only 1x Faith's Fetters? For one more mana you could have Faith's Fetters - it stops not only creatures, but bothersome artifacts as well as enchantments, and even lands that have annoying abilities. In general, it's a very, very flexiable card compared to Arrest. Worth considering.

Now, you say your deck is slow on the mana gain? Is it really any wonder - you only have 21 lands in here. Your deck needs 23, at minimum. That said, you do have options to up your mana gain. You have Sakura Tribe Elder, of course, as well as Kodama's Reach. You also have Gift of Estates, which is actually very nice because it really thins your deck as well as giving you 3 more lands, not to mention that it works well with Temple Garden.

Well, if you went with Auratogs, you definitely also go with 4x Rancor.

 

[jorael]

How about making it Highlander? It means you have to drop some of the enchantresses, but that's the biggest loss.

Cards that might be interesting to add:

privileged position
glare of subdual
armadillo cloack
Auramancer
Monk Idealist
Nomad Mythmaker

I was going to say 24...

 

[Nightstalkers]

The problem I see with the Priviledged position is if I were to cast it after I have things set up, or a couple beat sticks out... I could get Diabolic Edicted a time or two and then I wouldn't be able to use the enchantments.

Duke: I only run one because that's all I've got.

Hmm, would a Dueling Grounds work? If I can get another Thran Golem I could dump the Nishoba and then I could swing every turn with one of my beatsticks, but it would have trample... so it would present an interesting dilemma for others. With Nomad Mythmaker I could in essence get back an enchantment or two that an Auratog eats to get bigger.

I can probably dump a couple of the Sterling Groves for a couple Armadillo Cloaks... now where am I going to find those?

 

[depolarization]

I am an enchantment geek!

I like fertile ground to ease the mana curve though many argue there's little acceleration benefit. Faith's fetters need to be played I think, there are too many activated ability threats (Jitte comes readily to mind, or my saproling burst when doubling season's around >=) of course naturalize/disenchant works just as well.

If you're willing to use blue I like the idea of using Mark of Eviction with Enchantresses.

I also like things like heartbeat of spring, and city of solitude.

And with dueling grounds (how fast do you need this really?) nothing says 'lovin' like a Serra Avatar with Armadillo cloak.

How mean are you looking to make this deck? Blue may be a good idea so you can counter things like tranqs and other counterspells that want to deny your replenish.

I think the wombat is excellent. Besides the atog, what about cantivore? I know many call it trash...but c'mon...look at the sexy lightning coming off of its protuberances.

Enjoy the deck! I know I still am looking around for 4 argothian enchantresses now...sweet things...

[sageridder]

why no cradles?
